Northern Arizona's first night of frost this season

Freeze warning for higher elevations in Ariz.

The first day of fall feels more like the first day of winter for some in the mountain West, with light snow in Colorado and freeze warnings for higher elevations in Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, Nevada and Utah.
A winter storm watch has been issued Tuesday for Boulder, Colo., and surrounding areas in the Rocky Mountain foothills.

Light snow was reported Monday in Vail and other mountain towns, and more was expected Tuesday. At least 3 inches of snow fell in parts of the foothills west of Denver.

Temperatures in Denver dipped into to the upper 30s overnight, and low 30s in Flagstaff, Ariz.

The cold weather and snow have prompted Colorado's Loveland ski area to turn on its snowmaking machines earlier than planned.
